Hexflame Reaver
Its glow is a warning: the hunt is already over.
How to get the Hexflame Reaver Mount
The Hexflame Reaver is a green wyrm mount released in WoW Midnight Patch 12.1. It is a rare drop from Ral’kala, the Prey Boss in WoW Midnight Season 2. The Hexflame Reaver Mount involves participating in Prey during Midnight Season 2, collecting a new currency, then summoning and defeating the mob that can drop it.
In order to fight Ral’kala and have a chance at the Hexflame Reaver Mount dropping, you will need to unlock the Coiled Isle, access the Curse of the Isle Phase and farm Ossified Relics before summoning Ral’kala.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to do in order to add the Hexflame Reaver Mount to your Midnight Mount Collection.
Unlocking the Coiled Isle
To unlock the Coiled Isle and to also get access to the Curse of the Isle phase, you will need to complete the WoW Midnight Season 2 Campaign, Curse of Ula’tek, up to Chapter 2. The quest line can be picked up from Orweyna in the middle of Silvermoon City, the first quest is Hagar's Invitation.
Once you complete Chapter 2, you will have access to the Coiled Isle and all of the NPCs needed to unlock the Curse of the Isle.
Unlocking the Curse of the Isle Phase
The Curse of Isle is a new toggleable version of Nightmare Prey, putting you into a Phase where you can summon and fight Ral’kala, the Midnight Season 2 Prey Boss. To unlock the Curse of the Isle phase, you need to complete a quest chain which starts from Astalor Bloodsworn, who can be found in the Prey Hub in Silvermoon City.
The Quest Chain starts with Prey: A Slithering Threat, this will require you to defeat one of the Snake Themed Prey Hunts on The Coiled Isle in Nightmare Difficulty. The follow up for this quest chain will introduce you to Ral’kala and the Ossified Relics to summon him.
Enabling the Curse of the Isle Phase
Once you have unlocked the Curse of the Isle phase through the quest line, you can enable it whenever you want by speaking to the Image of Astalor Bloodsworn in Tokka’s Landing, on the Coiled Isle.

Farm Ossified Relics
Once you are in the Curse of the Isle Phase you can start to farm Ossified Relics; these come from Skulls you can collect around the isle, defeating enemies around the Coiled Isle and from the Daily Quest Prey: Anguish From Beyond. All require you to have the Curse of the Isle active.
The Daily quest, Prey: Anguish From Beyond, rewards 100 Ossified Relics; so we would recommend doing that first and then farm more relics by defeating enemies or collecting skulls until you have enough to summon Ral’kala as many times as you want.
Summoning Ral’kala
Haunted Braziers can be found in several locations around the Coiled Isle; they are shown on the world map with a blue brazier icon.
Interacting with the Brazier will let you offer Ossified Relics, either in amounts of 1, 5, 10 or 50. The total amount required to summon Ral’kala is 100 Ossifed Relics per Brazier, this amount is shared between any player that contributes, so you don’t need to offer all 100 of your Ossified Relics to summon Ral’kala.
Important: When you contribute Ossified Relics, you gain a buff saying you are more likely to receive loot because you offered your own relics. Because of this, make sure to always contribute some Relics to the Haunted Brazier each time you summon Ral’kala.
Once a collective 100 Ossified Relics have been offered to a Haunted Brazier, Ral’kala will spawn. He is fairly easy to defeat and has a small chance to drop the The Hexflame Reaver mount.
